8. Year 6 homework Year 6 will have homework every day.
Usually - Maths on Monday and Wednesday
English on Tuesday and Thursday
Spellings on Friday
Topic homework may be given on any day depending on the learning they are doing at that time
We recommend giving your child 1 hour in a quiet, disruption free space for them to do their homework. If they finish the homework set they can read a book until the time is up. Make it part of a routine.
